People certainly are generating a big "buzz" around the asian domain name. Really, China have had this coming for a long time. They're becoming a pretty big country to keep an eye on in the world of business and it was to be expected that a domain name would come along.

I expected that this kind of thing would get big and that it was only a matter of time until Chinese domains became bigger with more internet restrictions being lifted in the country. Definitely a good thing for any businessperson to keep an eye on.

I seriously doubt the level of control will lessen. In fact, the more traffic to China, the greater the threat is to the political system in plce. If anything, control will tighten as the perceived onslaught of other ideas grows.
